Idols bow to the One True God

Today I was reading in 1 Samuel and read about the Ark of the Covenant getting captured by the Philistines. After stealing it, they take it they put it in "the house of Dagon". (Dagon was a pagan God). 



The next morning, the people found that Dagon had fallen on the ground and bowed before the Ark. 


So the attendants set Dagon back up....



But then the next morning, the same thing happened, and this time Dagon's head and hands had fallen off. 



What should we learn from this? 

1. Don't mess with the One True God!
2. Your idols suck, so stop going to them for what you should be going to God with. 

You can read the story on the ESV Study Bible website!
